Best Practices for PDF Encryption

When encrypting PDFs, it’s important to consider not only the passwords but also the permissions you set. For example, you can restrict printing, copying, or editing the document, ensuring that sensitive content is not easily tampered with. It’s recommended to use strong passwords and review permission settings carefully to ensure your document security aligns with compliance regulations, such as GDPR or HIPAA.
